Paul van Dorn knew Katie Fisher when she was the overweight nerd in high school, but he missed the chance to see her blossom into a lovely lady at college. Katie is now a respected college professor, who’s taken a year’s sabbatical to write a book. Paul on the other hand lived to play hockey, so when he was offered a chance to play in the pros, he left college to live his dream. Unfortunately, his dream was short-lived, when a series of concussions forced him into early retirement. When Paul saw Katie at their high school reunion, he knew that he wanted her, but can Katie put those high school years behind her and accept Paul into her heart?
I really liked this story. Deirdre has a quirky sense of humor and I found the book to be fast-paced and full of fun. I particularly liked the love triangle and how the characters reacted to each other. The storyline about Katie’s sister was extremely well done; despite the fact that it was a sad it places. I also thought the ending was a little weak, but the rest of the book more than makes up for it. If you’re looking for a fun read and like sports, you should pick up this book.

Bottom line: A very good book
